Wow. Good find.

 

Did not see the rifle nade launchers and insta-prone mentioned.

 

Hmmmmm

Nice reading... Thanks Jasun

 

Nobody asked about system or server optimizations. Thats what I was more concerned about.

they also didnt ask about the name glitch that shows fellow squad members as enemies. that sucks especially with the tk punish system

Wow. Good find.

This would've been a GREAT find... if half of the people asking the questions were even remotely intelligent. Good reading, just a little disappointed to the lack of quality questions.

Agreed K2.

 

Thanks Ifrit.

EA chimes in with an update on the patch that is coming our way in a couple days for Battlefield 2. Check it out.

 

As many of you know already there is a new patch currently in development for Battlefield 2 which will address a large number of gameplay issues, balancing and bugs which have been reported through this forum and other sources. Apologies for the frustration at the wait, however it is vital that the patch be delivered in the best possible condition, improving the game from where it is now and solving many of the issues and complaints which have been received so far. Similarly, speculative information from us at this point will undoubtedly lead to disappointment as the makeup of the final, release, patch will not be set in stone until it enters the final testing phase.

Battlefield 2 1.03 Update Enters Final QA Pass

 

That's right, troops. Barring any last minute issues, the 1.03 Update is only a few days from release now. We thought this occasion warranted a post covering the major features and fixes coming in 1.03, so settle back and enjoy.

Wake Island 2007

 

That's right, the 1.03 update bundles the first Official map release from EA and DICE. In this case the map is a modern-era update of one of the most popular maps from Battlefield 1942 -- Wake Island. The People's Liberation Army has invaded Wake to threaten American supply lines. In response the US Marine Corps has been dispatched to reclaim the island. The new Wake Island map comes to you free of charge thanks to Fileplanet’s new Battlefield 2 Channel. Visit it at http://www.fileplanet.com/battlefield2.shtml.

Here is some new I found on the new patch. Once again though, you don't know if it is real or not.

-Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery

Interesting.... :peace:

 

TFD

Interesting.... :peace:

 

TFD

Yeah, that's gotta be a bogus release. I can't imagine that artillery will not cause TK's. That would make it WAY too easy, and also VERY unrealistic.

If it is true, I envision that what they mean is, the commander can still kill teamates with arty, he just doesn't get tk's for it?

 

TFD

No tk's for commanders arty??!!!?? Now i can just launch arty everywhere and go crazy and get so many kills without worrying about loosing 6 points per tk. Does EA know what their getting into? I mean i guess its easier to get those commander badges now, but people are going to complain like crazy about this.

its official check out www.battlefield2.com if you like but Phrogg got the scoop first

 

actually theres some neat pics of the new map there so you may want to check it anyways...

guy's I belive they mean you can't get punished for tk's with the arty.

 

Although now watch for some idiot to just start artying his base and killing freindly's because he can't get punished.
